The quality settings, in the "image options" box, range from Low to Max. If you're saving the JPEG strictly for use on the web, a medium setting between low & max is fine. You'll need max quality if you'll be printing the photo. JPEG format is one that can be compressed to save file space (and thus fit more of them on whatever media you have). More compression, however, means a corresponding loss in image quality and how it looks to the eye; it is especially noticeable in a printed image. It is not so noticeable on a computer monitor screen. As for the "format options" box, I don't know all of the ins and outs, but I do know that the "progressive" choice dates back to when all internet connections were (slooow) dial-up and it took awhile to load a photo file, so JPEGS had the capacity to be loaded in a series of passes ("progressively") depending on the size of the file. I just use the "baseline optimized" setting; haven't had a problem. I use Elements 10, and learned on an old (c. 2002) full version PS 7.

I don't understand what I am supposed to do with the JPEG Options box. I always leave it at whatever it comes up by default. Can you please explain further. Thank you. I use Elements 8.
